Radical Face- Summer Skeletons (Family Tree: The Branches)
Quite a one-man show!
from Jacksonville, Florida, son.
John Zorn - Between Two Worlds
I am in awe of Zorn's mind.
He is without doubt one of those one-of-a-kind beings, endlessly deep and rich with profound creativity. Definitely one i shall continue to cherish and follow all my life.
Yes, sometimes, life just throws you a truly good bone you can sink your teeth into... and we should all feel blessed for it! :)
Apollo 440 - Pain in any language
Sorry for the midday 'weight', but this gem is truly good, and different, from this band which i always liked.
It is very powerful, more so considering the vocalist, Billy Mackenzie, died shortly thereafter.

Maurice Ohana: Signes. L'Arbre (1965)
WOW!
MAURICE OHANA
(1913 - 1992)
thanks Yoel Ginor
inspiring..
Born in Casablanca, the son of parents of Spanish origin, Maurice Ohana studied in France and in Spain, making his debut as a pianist in Paris in 1936. He served in the British army during the Second World War and in 1944 became a pupil of Casella in Rome. In Paris again, he joined in the foundation of the Groupe Zodiaque, which was in opposition to serialism and other dogmatic restrictions of artistic freedom. The winner of various important awards, he drew on his own cosmopolitan background in his compositions.
Philip Glass - Sesame Street - Geometry of Circles
Gotta love Sesame Street! Too hip for words...
Philip Glass composed this music for Sesame Street in 1979. It is not sampled from his other works. It has aired on Sesame Street as recently as 1994 and probably later. For the full details, see these articles on Muppet Wiki:
http://muppet.wikia.com/wiki/Geometry...
http://muppet.wikia.com/wiki/Philip_G...
The four known pieces have been edited together here for convenience.
Since this was uploaded, Sesame Workshop has uploaded one of the four cartoons to their official channel on YouTube. You can find it here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-9467z...
Additionally, another short has been released on the vintage DVD collection Sesame Street: 40 Years of Sunny Days:

Camille Saint-Saëns - Danse Macabre
Today's Classic Corner... the macabre side of Camille.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camille_Saint-Sa%C3%ABns
I'll never forget how i learned of the great Saint-Saens. Thru my 9th grade English teacher. He was a colorful character, who embraced us with the love of culture, often thru humor. once he couldn't get our attention, so he stood up on his table, and took of his shoe, in order to show us that he had a hole in his sock. needless to say, he had earned our attention.
this is the kind of teacher all our children should have - funny and compassionate, and one who relates to us as we are!
Joni Mitchell - Chelsea Morning
Goooooooooood morning, albeit far from Chelsea!
Still, i'll "put on the day and wear it til the nighttime".

Jessye Norman - R.Strauss - Morgen
Today's Classical Corner... the everlasting R. Strauss, beautifully performed.
Its captivating hypnotizing beauty reminds me of Schubert's Ave Maria.
His quote, which i find very funny: "I may not be a first-rate composer, but I am a first-class second-rate composer."
my humble quote: "Weight, without humor, is just heavy."

Carpe diem - Rodrigo Leão
Again, i say: This guy is the bomb. for real!
This particular musical gem reminds me of my beloved Cirque du Soleil stuff.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rodrigo_Le%C3%A3o
Pro Infirmis «Because who is perfect?»
I like the idea very much!
'Normal' isn't clear at all, and the atypical know it all too well.
This exposes this strong notion in a commendable manner.
The Unthanks - Free Will and Testament
nice NICE. reminiscent of Badalamenti's Twin Peaks.
Oh sweet dark melancholia...

The Harry Manx Tijuana cover reminds me of this great cover, which also rides on a 2-chord progression.
both are something special!
Good day...
